Online Bible: New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

Of David. A melody.

1 To Jehovah belong the earth and that which fills it,
The productive land and those dwelling in it.

2 For upon the seas he himself has solidly fixed it,
And upon the rivers he keeps it firmly established.

3 Who may ascend into the mountain of Jehovah,
And who may rise up in his holy place?

4 Anyone innocent in his hands and clean in heart,
Who has not carried My soul to sheer worthlessness,
Nor taken an oath deceitfully.

5 He will carry away blessing from Jehovah
And righteousness from his God of salvation.

6 This is the generation of those seeking him,
Of those searching for your face, O [God of] Jacob. Se´lah.

7 Raise YOUR heads, O YOU gates,
And raise yourselves up, O YOU long-lasting entrances,
That the glorious King may come in!

8 Who, then, is this glorious King?
Jehovah strong and mighty,
Jehovah mighty in battle.

9 Raise YOUR heads, O YOU gates;
Yes, raise [them] up, O YOU long-lasting entrances,
That the glorious King may come in!

10 Who, then, is he, this glorious King?
Jehovah of armies—he is the glorious King. Se´lah.
